Abstract
A thermally homogeneous conductor is characterized by complete correlation in temperature at all points on it. A theory for temperature noise in such a conductor is developed. A relation for spectral density of heat current fluctuations between two black bodies in radiative contact is derived.Erroneous analytical expressions used in the past for evaluating bolometer performance by a number of authors are reconsidered in the light of the theories developed in this paper.
